In Topic: The USA Politics Thread

Just dropping by to say I do appreciate the US satanic temple.

Quote
The temple created an abortion ritual, a recitation of tenets about individual control over one’s body and the importance of making decisions based on science. Its general counsel, Matthew Kezhaya, said the ritual strengthens legal claims by linking “abortion and the religion itself” and establishing a practice “interfered with by these particular laws.”
The temple’s telemedicine service is currently available in New Mexico, where abortion is legal, but it plans to expand to states with bans and religious freedom laws, temple officials said. It has an intentionally inflammatory name, Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic (after the Supreme Court justice who wrote the opinion overturning Roe), but it follows standard medical procedures, employs experienced reproductive health nurses and is listed by a national clearinghouse of legitimate medication abortion services. -

Meanwhile, judge rules it is unconstitutional to prevent 18-20 year olds from buying hand guns.

The Supreme Court decision in Bruen is going to keep on generating cases like this. But, I suppose that's what Thomas wanted. -

I will never ever understand the gun fetish in the USA.
Like never.
The few I've met IRL who own guns always seemed to be like "But what if _____ happens? You'd be happy to have a gun then!".....like.....no....in Canada we don't live in constant fear of everyone around us, and don't feel the need to defend ourselves preemptively just in case.
The only reason I've even SEEN a real gun is because my brother-in-law used to be a cop, and he has hunting rifles as a civilian. He barely uses them.
America is a deeply fucked up place.
Not disagreeing with you on the US gun sentiment but, if you lived in a rural area you would see guns more often. There are 30 odd guns per capita in Canada, which is a fair number of guns. Still much less than the US and much more heavily weighted towards long guns. I've been around people carrying guns a few times, but it has always been someone carrying a rifle or shot gun. Typically when I've had to visit a remote work site in bear country.
